The New life in Christ: By their fruit you will recognize them. Matthew 7:16.

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. Matthew 7:15.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Jesus taught these things as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. Matthew 7:21-29. Amen.
